Oil & Gas Industry
With thousands of control loops to look after, you don't have a lot of
time to look after each loop individually. There are so many things
happening at once that it is hard sort through all the data and set
priorities. But it must be done, because margins are slim, and the
competition is right on your heels.
How Performance Supervision Helps
Performance Supervision software looks after your thousands of control
loops, 24 hours a day. Based on criteria that you have set, the PlantTriage Performance
Supervision System scans the entire process, finds the important
information, filters it based on your needs, and notifies you
directly.

ExperTune Has Extensive Experience in Oil & Gas
ExperTune has been improving control loops in the Oil & Gas
industry for nearly 20 years. In fact, many features of our products
were created to fulfill specific requests from our Oil & Gas
customers. Tens of thousands of control loops have been optimized
using our software. Whether you are off-shore, in a refinery, or on a tank
farm, our products have been designed to address your needs.
Some examples of our experience are included in
Case Studies
Seeing it All
PlantTriage's Dashboard displays concentrated information so that you can
see at a glance exactly what information you want. Because the
information is provided in a web browser interface, you can get all
this information from your desktop computer. For example, the
TreeMap, shown here, is a new, powerful visualization tool
that helps focus your attention on the "Hotspots".

Fully Integrated Modeling, Analysis, and Tuning
Your time is valuable. You shouldn't have to waste time piecing
together information from 5 different sources.
PlantTriage®
automatically gathers data, identifies process models, completes
assessments, and notifies you of the results. It does all of this
during normal process operation, without any interventions or
process bumping required from you. The results can be delivered to
you as an email, or displayed in your user-customized web browser
interface.
For detailed loop analysis, the data is automatically passed, in
context, to
ExperTune's PID Tuner/Analyzer.
Knowing What to Do About It
PlantTriage® tools are designed to make the analysis easy. You
will see charts and graphs of the information that is important to
you. Whether you are in Maintenance, Operations, Management, or
Engineering, PlantTriage® can show you exactly what you need to
see to make decisions.
Tools to help you in your job:
Powerful, award-winning, state-of-the-art control loop analysis
tools are included with PlantTriage. Control Engineers have every
possible advantage to identify process models, tune control loops,
diagnose instrument and valve problems.
Advanced Controls
PlantTriage goes beyond single-loop analysis. Model-predictive
Controllers can also be supervised within PlantTriage. At a glance,
you can see when and where MPC controllers are constrained, and even
receive notifications when the model and process are not tracking
closely.

Fixing the Fundamentals
Identify, Diagnose, and Resolve issues while the process is running.
The best APC package in the world is useless if your valves are not
performing. ExperTune's experience has been that over 30% of valves
in Refinery operations have performance issues. This includes
problems with stiction, hysteresis, valve sizing, and slow
response. PlantTriage helps to identify when valves are having
problems. The included PID Tuner/Analyzer package can help you to
troubleshoot and identify exactly what is wrong while the process
is running.
Maintaining Security
With its secure web-browser access, PlantTriage® keeps end
users and their heavy data demands off of the control network.
Optional Shadow Server technology
can be applied for an even greater measure of security.
Gaining Alignment
No matter what your role, you don't run the refinery by yourself. Many other people are
involved in making decisions that affect production, maintenance,
finances, and quality. PlantTriage and PID Tuner provide
out-of-the-box reporting tools that help you to make your case. You
can even email these reports directly to you, export data to Excel
for further analysis or to include in a presentation. This helps
everyone to see the problem as you see it, and makes gaining alignment
faster than ever.
Control Loop Optimization
PlantTriage includes a copy of ExperTune PID Tuner/Analyzer,
repeatedly recognized by users as the #1 controller tuning software
package. This includes tools for PID Tuning, Linearization, and
Optimization.
